Marmas should be understood
as junction or meeting places of the 5 organic principles
: ligaments, vessels, muscles, bones and joints, with the
four types of vessels being the nerves, lymph, arteries and
veins. By making a gentle circular movement with either the
forefinger or the middle finger on a marma, toxins can be
released and eliminated by the body. A massage practitioner
should also work with the marmas to help achieve electrochemical
balance in the body.
Many of the marmas or pressure
points of ayurvedic massage correspond to those used in Western
reflexology and Japanese Shiatsu.
